What is a PhD in Higher Education Studies about?

Success of the 欧洲杯足球网_外围买球app推荐-投注|官网 PhD programme is measured not only by the number of graduates but by the quality of their experience and by the ways in which their research contributes to debates about the higher education sector.

Higher Education Studies is an interdisciplinary field that critically examines universities and their role in creating a more just and equitable society.

While the 欧洲杯足球网_外围买球app推荐-投注|官网 PhD programme is housed in the Education Faculty, it draws on diverse scholarly traditions, including Sociology, Psychology, Economics, History, and Politics, to interrogate how higher education can better serve the common good.

Our studies go beyond traditional academic boundaries to explore pressing questions:

• Can universities drive social justice and address environmental degradation?
• What are the power dynamics within higher education systems?
• How do issues of access, funding, and knowledge production perpetuate or challenge inequalities?

Our students engage with topics ranging from higher education financing, governance and quality assurance to the university's role in the knowledge economy, and in ensuring democracy. Our students have interrogated disciplinary knowledge construction, transformative teaching and learning practices, powerful curriculum design and more.

Regardless of the topic a particular study is focused on, we maintain a critical lens that examines whose voices are centred, whose knowledge is valued, and how higher education institutions can fulfil their responsibilities to all communities. Our graduates are academics, administrators, deans, registrars and more.

This programme prepares intellectuals who see higher education not just as an object of study, but as a powerful site for advancing social justice, democratic participation, and the flourishing of communities.
